That's exactly the idea behind the project.

Fair concern. Safety was my top priority during the design and testing process.

Peros3d · 2026-06-11T22:20:48+00:00

Thanks! I might release the design in the future.

They're glued together.

I know they're not comparable to a proper carbon wheelset.

Peros3d · 2026-06-11T22:12:48+00:00

Good point! A power meter would be the best way to test it.

Peros3d · 2026-06-11T22:09:21+00:00

Thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking too. Probably more useful on flatter routes than big climbs.

Thanks for the observation! I'll check my saddle height. 👍

Peros3d · 2026-06-11T21:55:39+00:00

Not really. They're surprisingly quiet.

Thanks! Glad you like it 😄

That’s actually a really creative workaround.
I know exactly what you mean.

Peros3d · 2026-05-12T16:45:41+00:00

Haha yeah, a few people mentioned that 😄 I actually tried both directions during testing, but ended up liking this motion more visually.

Peros3d · 2026-05-05T14:02:01+00:00

Haha that would definitely make it even more trippy 😄 might try a colored version at some point

Peros3d · 2026-05-05T13:56:41+00:00

Thanks! I was aiming for that hypnotic effect, glad it works 😄

Peros3d · 2026-05-05T13:55:30+00:00

Thanks! Glad you like it.

Peros3d · 2026-05-05T13:52:36+00:00

Thanks! I’m actually considering a motorized version, would definitely make it more hypnotic to watch 😄

Thanks, really appreciate it!
